Rahu is in Venus sign here and in Swati nakshatra. As Libra is sign of business and Swati represents independence, Rahu here can show someone working independently in business setup work environment. This business can be related with finance/wealth or creative matters due to lordship of Venus. They have to work as an independent business person else they would feel frustrated in their career. As Venus is also a teacher in mythology, it shows that it can be a knowledge sharing business too. So, they should make an aim of being in own business else they may not get success as per their potential. Best possibility of wealth gain is through business only. In job setup career, they can get average results. Even nature-wise, they will be highly independent and may not like anyone to be authoritative towards them.
In relationship matter, the same desire of being free or independent can hurt the relation unless the partner is also understanding of this fact that true love/relation always brings independence and freedom to the partners involved in it. If they don't get such partner then in prevailing social understanding that relationship is all about capturing and controlling others, this person can feel extremely frustrated and imprisoned in the relation. In that situation, it is better not to get into any relationship and enjoy your freedom.
Swati is nakshatra of independence, Justice, Fair-Play and Business People. Swati falls in Libra and Libra is the 7th house in Kal Purusha Kundali . Lord of Swati is Rahu. Swati is like Real Pearl. Swati is perfect balance. Swati is the beauty of relating. A wise man always understands the depth and beauty of Swati Nakshatra. A woman born in Swati is a blessing and a man born in Swati is lovely human being. "Being Human" is the most appealing slogan for Swati Nakshatra beings, it is like a ‘Real Pearl’
Swati has always been a special Nakshatra that dwells around wise, intelligent men and women. It resides in a ‘high-class’ locality of ‘intellectuals’. It is a Nakshatra that belongs to the higher class, Higher Class means High Values, Deep Understanding and Compassionate . Swati is having all of it.
Winning or Success comes only when we show a certain quality, a certain label of living. Our words, Our comments, Our Reactions simply indicate Our Class and when it comes to Swati Nakshatra, the natives are quite sophisticated having a balanced perspective towards matters of life in general. A matured native will never pass or post a comment that makes no sense or is offensive by nature, instead native will balance his act by choosing the right words at the right time. And this is Emotional Intelligence and an emotional intelligent person always stay balanced.
“Balance” is one word that Swati loves too much, but when Rahu comes in Swati then the native becomes obsessed in finding balance in his life. And it is the irony that native think that he is balancing well but that is his illusion (Rahu is illusion) and the reality is something else. Rahu in Swati simply miss to find balance in life and that creates many miseries in his life.
Natives born on Swati Nakshatra haves beautiful souls , native will have a "Aura" of ‘intellectualism’ and they love to reading, they will be avid readers as well as also good writers.
Rahu in Swati is a perfect relaxing placement for Rahu. In Ardra Nakshatra, Rahu start to communicate and try to build relations. In Swati, Rahu will be successful in building relationships, doing good business, cracking the deals so that money flows in. In Shatamisha Nakshatra, Rahu will be fully settle to enjoy the profits/benefits of his communicating, establishing contacts & succeeding in forming relationships and establishing business.
So we see that Swati is the Middle Ground, the actual point of manifestation of relationships, business deals, public support and fame. Men and women having beneficial planets in Swati do well in life. Because Swati is indeed a blessed star. A wise man always perceives Swati with high regards.
Rahu in Swati brings obsession towards forming relationships and towards sex. Many women/men with Rahu in Swati try to perfect the art of love-making. Love making is also an art and someone as artistic as Rahu in Swati knows very well on how to enact the art of love-making. Although Sex is the most important subject for these natives but they are not vulgar, they love to do sex in an artistic way and in a romantic way.
Rahu in Swati native are very romantic by nature and he want more and more romance in their life. People in general relate the word ‘Romance’ with Love but actually the word “Romance” is also as “Adventure”. And so when Rahu is in Swati and by chance if native fall in love and there is a strong yoga of Love Marriage in horoscope and also there are many challenges to overcome before native marry the Love of his Life, then such native goes all the way, he may risk his life, he may go against the whole society, he may not bother about his status because he perfectly understands the fact that when he love he simply love.
Rahu in Swati often is labelled as a native who is always in search of a partner, he/she just loves partner, he/she wants to romance as many men/women as he/she can. Opposite sex is the weak point of every one, though in case of Rahu in Swati natives, opposite sex is indeed the weakest point in their life, the natural tendency to get attracted to opposite sex and to have intimate relation with the opposite sex is quiet intense in these natives.
Physical relation is necessary in life. In fact there are many men/women who are married but there is no physical relation. And there are also men/women who keep running like a horse in a race to gain more money, more status but when it comes to physical relation, they have no answer because there is no physical relation in their life and then they keep visiting astrologers to ask “Why her/his life is miserable, why feel lost ,why feel stagnated in life?”
Here the answer is simple that he/she has forgotten or rather ignored the basic need of physical body, need of physical relation. Her/His body is hungry for physical relation but their ignorant mind has kept their body starving. Nobody is going to help them and nobody is going to tell them the truth because we are living in an idiotic hypocrite society which can't telling them to address the need physical relation of their body.
The general myth is that whosoever avoids physical relation is considered as a saint, though her/his body may be going through intense sexual starvation. It is funny that what is Alive, we ignore and what is Dead, our worship. Sex is very much alive, we are born out of physical relation, how can we condemn physical relation? How can we go on ignoring physical relation? The answer is simple – because we have been following our mind and the mind becomes the priest,– the mind goes on condemning physical relation. Physical relation is the source of life and we can’t condemn the source of life. When Rahu is in Swati then natives should never starve themselves in the matter of physical relation,they should get married or else have satisfying physical relationships.
Rahu in Swati is demanding in relationships and especially when it comes to Physical relation and Emotions. Swati brings Emotional Intelligence but Rahu in Swati simply damages this emotional intelligence because emotional intelligence is about finding balance in managing our emotions and Rahu simply doesn’t like the word ‘Balance’.The primary reason that stops Rahu in Swati native from becoming a Star Performer is their inability to show emotional intelligence. Emotional Intelligence is missing in natives having Rahu in Swati and the sooner they understand that what is emotional intelligence, it is the better for them.
LIBRA and moreover Swati is very much able to recognise and understand emotions in themselves and others and also are good in managing relationships, but Rahu in Swati spoils the game, the person becomes too emotional in relationships and impulsive by nature resulting in sudden breakups and many personal setbacks in life. Emotional intelligence is when we restraint from reacting but Rahu in Swati native is quick to react and this impulsive nature of reacting brings many miseries to their personal life, especially to relationships.
Rahu in own Nakshatra Swati precisely brings great importance to the placement of Venus in the Ascendant chart. Rahu simply follows the orders of Venus and so the ultimate results depends on whether the Venus is well placed or ill placed.
Swati is the Chest of human body and Rahu in Swati can lead to problems in Chest, especially during old age. When we breath, the breath has to go deep in our heart, but people breath shallow because when breath goes deep, it excites the need of physical relation.
Obsession with Partnerships, Dealerships, Negotiating, Diplomacy, and Socialising are some of the common traits of Rahu in Swati. Rahu in Swati always is trying to appease others and so buttering the boss to get promotion or buttering a woman to get her is something that these natives passionately indulge in.
The main reason for the miseries in native life is primarily because they live under the illusion that it is only when they can make others happy that they can remain happy. The reality is that it is not that when we make other happy, we will be happy. It is when we, ourselves are Happy that we can make others happy.
When we go on submitting to the demands of others, we forget the fact that demands never end. If we give in to one demand then the same person will come up with second demand. And that is how we become a puppet, we lose control of ourselves, we lose control over our life, we simply become a silly person who thinks that by living to the demands of others and making others happy, we will be happy and that is indeed suicidal and dangerous.
Rahu in Swati does make us an Extrovert person, a person who is too much focused on the outside and when we depend on outside, when outside situations drive us than, our happiness is short-lived because the outside situations always keep changing. The message to those natives having Rahu in Swati is start focusing within, turn inwards, and realize the fact that you have the power to control your mind and not the situations on the outside.
Rahu in Swati simply shows that the desires has always been towards turning on. And natives do well materially, they prosper, they earn good fame, good properties but what about happiness? What about wisdom? What about peace of mind? What about experiencing the joy within?
The answer to all these questions is only found when we stop turning on and start turning in and that’s Ketu. Rahu will always push us to turn on but Ketu will always encourage us to turn in.
We can always change our life, We can always raise the quality of our life, everything is possible only when we start changing ourselves. So Change ourselves and to change ourselves, we have to let change happen within us and we can let change happen within us only when our surrender, when we start living our life by surrendering ourselves to the almighty Lord, to the divine compassionate master.
Meditate every day and accept the truth that the life journey begins with desires which is Rahu but liberation which is Moksha is possible only when the journey progresses towards the state of desireless-ness which is Ketu.
